Hello George,

The author meta tag isn't generated from K2.
This is a core Joomla! feature.

www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla-3/metadata/author-meta-tag

Here you go.

You can then set a custom meta with this function

thank you krikor,

i understand that the first link is to enable the author meta

and the second to write javascript to display what i want.

But where exactly should i write this?

and how am i supposed to bring the username of the author on each page of k2 item? :/ (

You can get all of the user's info here: docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object

Now override the item.php file and you can build your code based on these links I sent you to display the user's username.

More on overrides can be found here:

hallo krikor,

really thank you for your interest.

i am not sure if there is a misunderstanding about what i mean.
i attach an image to be more specific

http://imgur.com/plSLCqG

of course i have override too many times too many templates but how am i supposed to change the user->name to user-> username?

everything in the item.php for author is about k2 staff and not for joomla core or facebook share..

thank you

Yes, this info is generated from your meta tags.
These tags are being generated from Joomla! not from K2.

You need to write your own script if you want to override Joomla!'s behaviour.

Also by accessing Joomla!'s user object you have access to all the (Joomla!) user's info.

Hello George,

I recommend using NoNumber ReReplacer to perform a Find & Replace of the author meta produced by Joomla.

Your search would look something like this...

Find:
<meta name="author" content="Old Name" />

Replace:
<meta name="author" content="New Name" />

I hope this helps,

Joe Campbell

thanks for the information joseph,

i read that it is not advisable to print out the author username and i think that it is right..so i preferred to hide the author meta tag throug glabal configuration.

but thanks again! :)

If he/ she is a Super User it is a major security issue.

Correct, that is why I recommended the replacement of it.

The "new" meta author can be whatever you want it to be, such as your organization name.

the author every time is different. it depends to whom the k2 item belongs. otherwise, authors are all registered users who can post stories. so i cannot replace with the nonumber extension to a specific value.
